What type of vehicles can you hire?

We have two different types of cars: -

Volkswagen cars
We have two-automatic accessible Volkswagen cars, which accommodate one wheelchair user, plus up to three passengers as well as the driver. The cars have a winch and ramp access at the rear. We can accommodate most passengers but please ask and we are more than happy to help with any issues.
Have a large wheelchair? More than one wheelchair user? A large group? You can use one of our accessible minibuses.

EV Nissan MPV Car
We have one Electric Vehicle automatic MPV car which can accommodate one wheelchair user, plus up to three passengers as well as the driver. The accessible car has an electric winch and ramp access at the rear. If you cannot drive the car yourself or do not have any body to drive for you, we do have volunteer drivers. This car can also be hired by individuals.

Who can hire our wheelchair accessible cars?

Drivers must be over 21 years old and have held a full driver’s licence for at least two years.

Is any training provided?

Yes, your nominated driver will need to be available for a short familiarisation with the vehicle and training in the wheelchair access and restraint equipment before taking the vehicle out for the first time. Once trained, your nominated driver will be covered by our insurance.
If you cannot drive the car yourself or do not have any body to drive for you, we do have volunteer drivers.

What can the cars be used for?

The wheelchair accessible cars can be used for those wishing to access hospital and doctor appointments, dentist, shopping trips etc. There are no restrictions on journey purpose.

How much is it to hire the cars? (Prices correct 01/07/2022).

Volkswagen car
To hire the automatic Volkswagen car is 85p per mile. There is also an annual membership of £2.

EV Nissan MPV Car
To hire the EV Nissan MPV car is 50p per mile. The car will be fully charged before you use it. On average the car will travel approximately 100 miles, this however, does depend on the type of terrain. The more hills, the car will use up more electricity. If required Dolen Teifi will provide you with a map with the various charge points along your route.
